Okay...I don't want a war. But I'm slow cooking ribs in the oven today. I have the rub on. And the oven set to 300. Am I supposed to cover the ribs with tin foil, or just open in the grill pan?

Ahhhh. Ribs. To do them entirely in the oven I would cook them in two stages. First, do your rub, whatever spices you like but salt and pepper, garlic powder, etc. Bake until they are nicely browned and then take them out and wrap them in foil with some liquid, you can use water, broth, white wine, about a quarter cup more or less, and then turn the oven down to about 225 and slow cook them for at least two more hours. This breaks down the collagen and makes them tender. The longer they cook the more tender they are.

I cook pork ribs but this would work on beef ribs too.

Also, some people boil the ribs first to tenderize them and then bake them.

Enjoy!

And there are various methods to cook ribs, that is just one.

Okay...I was going to cook them for about 2 hours as is...then another 4 hours covered with some sauce. I may take them out and then reheat for about an hour when it's time for dinner (dinner won't be until about 8:00 tonight). Does that sound okay?
